There's only one love in my life my wife;
My children come very high on that list.

I LOVED THEM

I loved you once,
I loved you twice.
I even tried to love you thrice,
But as anyone can plainly see,
I was knackered when I got to three.

I loved them once,
I loved them twice,
I even found I could love them thrice.
Could anyone explain to me,
Who put viagra in my tea.

I married once,
I married twice,
I even managed to marry thrice.
I know that for some that's not nice,
I think I'm addicted to the rice.

I married once,
I married twice,
I even tried to marry three.
But Its much more fun as bigamy.

I married once,
I married twice,
I even managed to marry thrice.
But now I've turned seventy three;
Who put the bromide In my tea.

I loved them once,
I loved them twice,
I even managed to love them thrice.
As in life I thought I could kick the habit,
But its much more fun as a bunny rabbit.
